The quality of the copy is not good, but nevertheless shows the film from that time. A header and trailer is added. Sequences from the film were published in the catalog Manfred Mohr, "Cubic Limit", Galerie Weiller, Paris, 1975 with the caption: Images du Film (16 mm) 'Cubic Limit' For more information see: http://emohr.com/collab-exp/col_mohr-film.html
Mathematics and fine art: Digitizing paintings through image processing
The current trend to digitize everything is not lost on fine art. Documenting, distributing, conserving, storing and restoring paintings require that digital copies be made. The Google Art Project, which brings art from galleries around the world to online audiences, was launched in early 2011 for precisely these reasons. Google's project has been a complex undertaking, however, carried out under carefully controlled settings using state-of-the-art equipment and requiring rigorous postproduction work.
In a paper published this month in the SIAM Journal on Imaging Sciences, authors Gloria Haro, Antoni Buades and Jean-Michel Morel propose a far simpler technique that can achieve reliable reproductions of paintings using fusion of photographs taken from different angles through statistical methods. The simple photographic procedure eliminates the need for sophisticated illumination and acquisition requirements. The postproduction process, while intensive, is fully automated.
The fusion of multiple images of a painting from well-chosen angles can eliminate glare, highlights and motion blur. Robust statistical methods reduce noise and compensate for optical distortion, thus addressing the problem of uncontrolled illumination and destructive reflection that tends to be seen in many digitized paintings.
Interactive Media Innovation Interactive Media Innovation is a research project funded by the Australian Research Council and the Australia Council for the Arts.
The aims of the project are to examine the role of creative innovation in the context of interactive media entertainment and to explore how successful companies in this space derive and exploit creative inspiration. The questions the project ask are 'What sort of external source of creative inspiration can an artist bring to a studio which creates interactive media entertainment?' & 'What happens when you bring experts together from two very different creative areas to explore collaborative co-creation?'
To help answer these questions, will run several artists workshops around the country and manage a number of artist placements throughout Australia. http://www.imi-innovation.org/

When do I see Photons ?
Participating Artists: Vera Drebusch, Verena Friedrich, Jan Goldfuß, Hörner/Antlfinger and Sunjha Kim
When do I see photons? asked the cyberneticist, author and linguistic theorist Oswald Wiener in his tome Problems of Artificial Intelligence (1990). Photons are the smallest particles of light which stimulate the retina, but can we see them? Wiener’s question about the physical laws of seeing led us to fundamental questions of consciousness: seeing is, for the most part, a construction; can we see what we don’t know? The first show at the Goethe-Institut’s new location presents selected works from the Transmedialen Raum der Kunsthochschule für Medien Köln (the Transmedialen Raum of the Academy of Media Arts Cologne) that have as a theme the making visible of processes and relationships. For three months the windows of the Goethe-Institut will become membranes for the transmission of images and sounds in the public space. The artists in the exhibition explore the connecting patterns in software and nature, the societal construct of human-animal relationships, and the power of language and cell material in laboratories. As part of the exhibition programming, the public is also invited on a photon-assisted walk through nocturnal Montreal. +1 514 4990159 info@montreal.goethe.org

Mechanical art: Japanese scientists unveil robot calligrapher
Japanese researchers have found way to preserve the centuries old tradition of calligraphy. They have created a robot that memorize artist’s brush strokes and recreates art and calligraphy.
The robot needs to be taught before it can create something. The artist starts drawing calligraphy while his brush is attached to the robot’s mechanical hand. It remembers each move the artist makes, the pressure on the brush and the angles and then just copies them, Agence France Presse reports.
“The device is endowed with a motor that moves as the person moves the brush. And then the moves are recorded digitally. Then the robot uses the same motor to produce the exact same moves,” Associate Professor Seichiro Katsura of Keio University explains.
The aim of the robot is to preserve the traditional Japanese calligraphy and can also be used to recreate other pieces of art.

Radical DIY: artist-makers of extraordinary and poetic machines
meet some international artists who make extraordinary and poetic machines: homemade satellites, rainbow and tornado generators, and weapons of mass amiability. Together, their work provides a quirky and compelling critique of the allure and production of technology.
Korean artist Hojun Song has built a fully functioning satellite. His tiny satellite is a DIY engineering masterpiece: he hacked together a solar cell, a lithium-ion battery, an Arduino board, and four powerful LED lights. The cube will transmit Morse code messages that can be seen from back on Earth. He has set up the Open Source Satellite Initiative to ensure others can follow. In 2010, he made the Strongest Weapon in the World - I Love You. If you hit it – with an extremely large mallet - it says “I love you”. It can withstand a nuclear attack. His Radioactive Jewlry meanwhile is not for those wishing for long life.
Alistair McClymont makes night-time rainbows, suspends raindrops in mid-air and creates tornadoes with deceptively simple machines. A UK based artist working in sculpture, photography and video, McClymont describes these as ‘phenomena’ artworks, in which he tries to capture natural, often overlooked occurrences and evoke a sense of wonder.
Following the success of previous events and the importance of the field of evolutionary and biologically inspired music, sound, art and design, EvoMUSART has become an EvoStar conference with independent proceedings. Thus, EvoMUSART2013 is the eleventh European Event and the second International Conference on Evolutionary and Biologically Inspired Music, Sound, Art and Design.
The use of biologically inspired techniques for the development of artistic systems is a recent, exciting and significant area of research. There is a growing interest in the application of these techniques in fields such as: visual art and music generation, analysis, and interpretation; sound synthesis; architecture; video; poetry; design; and other creative tasks.
The main goal of evomusart 2013 is to bring together researchers who are using biologically inspired computer techniques for artistic tasks, providing the opportunity to promote, present and discuss ongoing work in the area.
The event will be held from 3-5 April, 2013 in Vienna, Austria as part of the EvoStar event.

“Yoshimi” is a testament to the intertwined and largely unexplored relationship between science and art. At a recent standing room only event, leading San Diego medical researchers and La Jolla Playhouse artists, including McAnuff and Artistic Director Christopher Ashley, got together for a frank and fascinating discussion about the creative ground they share — and now you can watch it on UCTV.
"Science"; "Art" are symbols within a model of the universe called language. The model cannot possibly be as expansive as that which it represents. It is foolish to limit our experience to fit the model. No matter how many roses one tears apart he will never know what constitutes their beauty. For this reason I am no longer interested in following nor participating here. Best wishes to all.

When do I see Photons ?
Participating Artists: Vera Drebusch, Verena Friedrich, Jan Goldfuß, Hörner/Antlfinger and Sunjha Kim
When do I see photons? asked the cyberneticist, author and linguistic theorist Oswald Wiener in his tome Problems of Artificial Intelligence (1990). Photons are the smallest particles of light which stimulate the retina, but can we see them? Wiener’s question about the physical laws of seeing led us to fundamental questions of consciousness: seeing is, for the most part, a construction; can we see what we don’t know? The first show at the Goethe-Institut’s new location presents selected works from the Transmedialen Raum der Kunsthochschule für Medien Köln (the Transmedialen Raum of the Academy of Media Arts Cologne) that have as a theme the making visible of processes and relationships. For three months the windows of the Goethe-Institut will become membranes for the transmission of images and sounds in the public space. The artists in the exhibition explore the connecting patterns in software and nature, the societal construct of human-animal relationships, and the power of language and cell material in laboratories. As part of the exhibition programming, the public is also invited on a photon-assisted walk through nocturnal Montreal.

Mechanical art: Japanese scientists unveil robot calligrapher
Japanese researchers have found way to preserve the centuries old tradition of calligraphy. They have created a robot that memorize artist’s brush strokes and recreates art and calligraphy.
The robot needs to be taught before it can create something. The artist starts drawing calligraphy while his brush is attached to the robot’s mechanical hand. It remembers each move the artist makes, the pressure on the brush and the angles and then just copies them, Agence France Presse reports.
“The device is endowed with a motor that moves as the person moves the brush. And then the moves are recorded digitally. Then the robot uses the same motor to produce the exact same moves,” Associate Professor Seichiro Katsura of Keio University explains.
The aim of the robot is to preserve the traditional Japanese calligraphy and can also be used to recreate other pieces of art.

Interactive Media Innovation
Interactive Media Innovation is a research project funded by the Australian Research Council and the Australia Council for the Arts.
The aims of the project are to examine the role of creative innovation in the context of interactive media entertainment and to explore how successful companies in this space derive and exploit creative inspiration. The questions the project asks are 'What sort of external source of creative inspiration can an artist bring to a studio which creates interactive media entertainment?' & 'What happens when you bring experts together from two very different creative areas to explore collaborative co-creation?'
To help answer these questions, will run several artists workshops around the country and manage a number of artist placements throughout Australia.

Radical DIY: artist-makers of extraordinary and poetic machines
meet some international artists who make extraordinary and poetic machines: homemade satellites, rainbow and tornado generators, and weapons of mass amiability. Together, their work provides a quirky and compelling critique of the allure and production of technology.
Korean artist Hojun Song has built a fully functioning satellite. His tiny satellite is a DIY engineering masterpiece: he hacked together a solar cell, a lithium-ion battery, an Arduino board, and four powerful LED lights. The cube will transmit Morse code messages that can be seen from back on Earth. He has set up the Open Source Satellite Initiative to ensure others can follow. In 2010, he made the Strongest Weapon in the World - I Love You. If you hit it – with an extremely large mallet - it says “I love you”. It can withstand a nuclear attack. His Radioactive Jewlry meanwhile is not for those wishing for long life.
Alistair McClymont makes night-time rainbows, suspends raindrops in mid-air and creates tornadoes with deceptively simple machines. A UK based artist working in sculpture, photography and video, McClymont describes these as ‘phenomena’ artworks, in which he tries to capture natural, often overlooked occurrences and evoke a sense of wonder.

"Science"; "Art" are symbols within a model of the universe called language. The model cannot possibly be as expansive as that which it represents. It is foolish to limit our experience to fit the model. No matter how many roses one tears apart he will never know what constitutes their beauty. For this reason I am no longer interested in following nor participating here. Best wishes to all.
